- 1998 Explorer Sport
I searched to see if I could find a similar question but couldn't so here goes!
I bought a new to me 1998 Explorer Sport. The anti theft system in it has me confused at this point. There is an aftermarket remote (Looks like a cheap system, the remote is an "executive" model) used to gain entry to the X and There is 1 PATS key that came with it. The PATS key will NOT open any of the doors but it will start the X (the key will not turn any of the locks, won't budge!). The red anti theft indicator blinks on the whaddyacallit area where the speedo and tach are.
The Sport is the base Sport, no power drivers seat and the OHC engine (I have that right?)
Anyone have any clue as to why my PATS key won't unlock the doors but will start the thing? If I lose this remote I am screwed royally!! Better yet, Any tips on bagging this aftermarket set up totally would be greatfully appreciated!!
